occur in the same order at optimal times during the day, they become habits that are not questioned, 
but done without thought. 
Chances are that you have developed some type of routine for yourself in terms of showering, cleaning 
your house, or doing other types of work. You have an idea in your mind when you will do these 
things on a regular basis and this helps you to know what to expect. In fact, you have probably already 
been using most of these compliance strategies for yourself without realizing it. For children, without 
setting these expectations on a daily basis by making them part of a regular routine, they can become 
very upset. Just like adults, children think about what they plan to do that day and expect to be able to 
do what they want. So, when you come along and ask them to do something they weren’t already 
planning to do that day, this can result in automatic refusals and other undesirable defiant behavior. 
However, by using this compliance strategy with defiant children, these activities are done almost 
every day in the same general order and the child expects to already do them. 
 
D. Doctor Steven Walson addressed that organizing fun activities to occur after frequently refused 
activities. This strategy also works as a positive reinforcer when the child complies with your requests. 
By arranging your day so that things often refused occur right before highly preferred activities, you 
are able to eliminate defiant behavior and motivate your child's behavior of doing the undesirable 
activity. This is not to be presented in a way that the preferred activity is only allowed if a defiant child 
does the non-preferred activity. However, you can word your request in a way so that your child 
assumes that you have to do the non-preferred activity before moving on to the next preferred activity. 
For example, you do not want to say something such as, "If you clean your room we can play a game." 
Instead word your request like this, "As soon as you are done cleaning your room we will be able to 
play that really fun game you wanted to play." 
E Psychologist Paul Edith insisted praise is the best way to make children to comply with. This is 
probably a common term you are used to hearing by now. If you praise your child's behavior, he or she 
will be more likely to do that behavior. So, it is essential to use praise when working with defiant 
children. It also provides your child with positive attention. However, it is important to know how to 
praise children in a way that encourages future automatic reinforcement for your child when doing a 
similar behavior.
